Lease

Through a public bid, the company secured a 30-year concession to provide public railway services on the southern (Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul states), western (Mato Grosso do Sul state) and São Paulo (São Paulo) rail networks of the former Brazilian Rail Network (RFFSA). The organization entered into lease agreements with RFFSA in order to acquire the operating assets needed to run these rail networks.

Assets not leased remained under the control of RFFSA and, following the company’s extinction in 2007, were transferred to Brazil’s federal government.

The company also secured the concession to build and operate the North Rail Network, whose Santa Fé do Sul (São Paulo) - Alto Araguaia (Mato Grosso) segment is currently operational. In 2008 it started the project to expand this railway to Rondonópolis (Mato Grosso).

Law 6,766/79, article 4, section III, establishes a 15 (fifteen) meter area as non buildable, from the right-of-way on.
